GB-UK wide: Virtual Tasters VTAS-04-22

Descriptions

NOTE: This notice was updated on 06 May 2022 for the following reason: Deadline extended to take into account bank holiday(CITB are investing £30,000 in an innovative commission to provide virtual tasters in construction. The successful supplier will need to provide a minimum of 15% match-funding. CITB defines a taster as: "short-duration insight into a construction working environment or particular career path(s), delivered physically or virtually. Examples of tasters include but are not limited to: •A 'day in the life' of presentation, giving an in-depth account of a particular role •Site tours •Open Days •Work-shadowing" The provider must ensure virtual tasters are of a standard and quality that positively promotes construction as an aspirational career path and are engaging and informative to support individuals to make good career choices. Primarily the supplier will need to work in close collaboration with CITB's commissioned Onsite Experience Hubs to ensure the virtual tasters are aligned to their needs, and the outputs from this commission can be successfully incorporated into the Onsite Experience programme (please see Annex A for more information on CITB's Onsite Experience Commission). The scope of this commission has purposely been kept relatively broad to enable innovation. Any specific requirements are detailed in the following sections, which a supplier will be expected to meet. This commission will run for an initial 12-month period to develop and launch the virtual construction tasters with the expectation that the supplier will include monitoring for an additional 12 months (minimum) post launch within their tender. Furthermore, the supplier will need to provide evidence of sustainability to ensure the virtual tasters can be rolled-out to a wider audience within the construction industry. They will also need to ensure there is an appropriate mechanism in place to monitor their reach and an embedded exit survey to monitor outcomes.)
